Trade was fair to-day in all lines, with
feeling of confidence 10 the future if rain
comes within the next ten days.
Eggs are weak with the supply greater
considerably than the demand.
POOL RATES.
The two seasons last past have seen an
almost continuous shrlI ksge in values of
beef cattle, and the beginning of last
month found prices at almost the lowest
point ever known. Since 1884 there has
been a recession in prices of 40Q50 per
cent. This tremendous shriDkage was
chiefly the result of material causes,
among which were the depreciation in
other food articles, and the lessened pur-
chasing ability of the masses by reason
of the "hard times" But an almost
equally potent factor in bringing about
the xampled depression of the last
twelve months was the eXtortionate
freight rates exacted by the Eastern pool
lines. The passage by congress of the
inter state commerce bill now under
consideration would remove one of the
principal hindIances to a return Of pros
perity to the cattle industry, and the
farmers and stockmen of the West should
give their representatives at Washington
to understand that they are expected to
act promptly and vigorously in securing
the passage of that important measure.
The day that bill becomes law, from
81 to 80 will be added to the market
price of every bullock in the West. Its
prompt passage will signalize the en-
trance upon more prosperous era for
Western farmers and stuck-raisers, and
they should not permit its defeat through
negligence on their part to advise the
members of congress as to the true SEN
timent of the West on that important
question. The number of cattle in the
country is unquestionsbly smaller than
twelve months ago, labor is more gener-
ally and more prottably employed than
at any time since 1884, and but give the
West relief from railroad extortion, and
the year upon which we have entered
will see b ON in the cattle industry
such as it has not enjoyed for years.

An Open Question.

1t has been asserted that there is no
authenticated case of q shark eating y
human being. And now a Florida cor
respondent raises the same question
with reference to alligators and croco-
dies:
"I have never been able to find vcri-
fed instance of an alligator injuring a
man or child. Nor in Egypt, where l
saw crocodiles in plenty in 1S55-56, and
less plenty in 1870, was I able, with
most diligent inquiry, to verify an in
stance of that reptile iniuring any hu-
man being. Stories of their fondness for
children, especially for black children,
were common in Egypt as they are in
Florida. 1t used to be said that Il croco-
dile would watch the Nile shore, and
when woman came down to dip water,
or wash clothes, would sweep her off
with blow of his tail and turn and
seize her. But no native that I ques-
toned could speak of any such occur
renee within his knowledge. Doubtless
an alligator would take a child or a dog,
if lying in the water, but even then he
would not approach without lifting his
head and carefully assuring himself that
no enemy was in sight above the water.
However, it is an open subject, and l do
not propose to express an opinion on the
alligator question, as between extermina-
ton and protection"

Another Attempt Made to Assassin

The Vienna correspondent Of the London
Post says that another attempt to murder the
Gar was made on the Marskoy road, in St.
Petersburg, and that student and woman
were arrested who were carrying bombs un-
der their plaids.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg to the
London Ne,cs says: ''On Wednesday morn
ing, when the Car WIS driving to the
Gatschina station here, a man and woman
were seized at the corner Of the Nevski
Prospect and the Great Morskaia ten
minutes before the Cars carriage
passed. Another person tried to present
petition as the Car passed, but was
arrested before he could reach the carriage.
1t has not yet been ascertainel positively
whether or not the persons arrested had any
criminal intentions. The Car was in perfect
health and excellent spirits"
Vienna and Berlin kilograms confirm the
foregoing, and state that the culprits stood
upon the steps of all uninhabited house, No. Il,
and carried bombs under plaid shawl. 1t
is supposed that the petitioner was AL ac-
eomplice Of the other two, and did not
know that the latter had been arrested.
Tho Car knew nothing of the arrests. He

The indications all point to heavy
increase in the population of this country
by European emigration. Not within
seven years has there been so great de-
mand for passage, and the facilities for
transportation during the season will be
taxed to the uttermost. So great, indeed,
has been the rush that most of the steam
ship lines have been already compelled
to notify their agents to stop booking for
the present. This promised irruption is,
doubtless, due to the fact that the revival
of trade in the United States and Canada
offers enticing prospects to the working
men of Europe to better their condition.
Great Britain, it is said, will contribute
a large quota of bricklayers, plasterers
and masons to find profitable occupation
in building enterprises, while Germans
and Scandinavians are coming to fill good
openings thatpresent themselves to crafts
men and agriculturists in the fast-devel-
oping West.
